BEFORE STARTING THIS OR ANY OTHER EXERCISE PROGRAM, CONSULT
YOUR PHYSICIAN,

who can assist you in determining the target heart rate zone

appropriate for your age and physical condition. Certain exercises, programs or types
of equipment may not be appropriate for all people. This is especially important for
persons over the age of 35, pregnant women, or those with pre-existing health 
problems or balance impairments.

START OUT SLOWLY AND PROGRESS SENSIBLY.

Progress at a pace that is comfort-

able for you. Perform all of the exercises at the tempo demonstrated in the video for
best results.

MONITOR YOUR HEART RATE WHILE YOU EXERCISE AND KEEP YOUR PULSE
RATE WITHIN YOUR TARGET HEART RATE ZONE.

Follow the instructions on page 7 in this manual regarding heart rate monitoring and
determining your appropriate target heart rate zone.  

DO NOT OVER EXERT YOURSELF WITH THIS OR ANY OTHER EXERCISE
PROGRAM. 

Listen to your body and respond to any reactions you may be having. You

must distinguish “good” pain, like fatigue, from “bad” pain, which hurts. If you experi-
ence any pain or tightness in your chest, an irregular heartbeat or shortness of breath,
stop exercising immediately. Consult your physician before continuing.

USE CARE WHEN STEPPING ON AND OFF EQUIPMENT.

Set up and use your Gazelle Freestyle™ on a solid, level, carpeted surface. Follow the
instructions demonstrated in your video and on page 8 in this manual for proper entry
and exit techniques.

HAVE PLENTY OF CLEARANCE BEHIND AND IN FRONT OF YOUR GAZELLE
FREESTYLE.

It is important to keep children, pets, furniture and other objects out of

the way of the swinging foot platforms. You should have a minimum of 3 feet of 
clearance both in front of and behind your Gazelle Freestyle.

WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING WHEN EXERCISING. 

Workout clothing should

be comfortable and lightweight. Wear athletic shoes, such as running or aerobic shoes.
Do not use this product with bare feet.

GAZELLE FREESTYLE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN. 

Keep this and

all fitness equipment out of the reach of children.
